ClipperFan Posted October 7 #1411 Posted October 7 (edited) @rwiederrich beautifully done name boards. Unfortunately according to Michael Mjelde, her officially registered name was two words Stag Hound, not a single word. He reminded me when I shared the fact that Cornelius W McKay used the single Staghound word in his banner for his drawing of her. Just thought I'd let you know. Still, they're lovely pieces. Edited October 7 by ClipperFan additional info.
Rick310 Posted October 8 #1412 Posted October 8 Wonderful job on the name boards Rob!! I liked the way you did the lubbers holes in the tops! This is a really beautiful build! Rick ClipperFan 1

rwiederrich Posted Thursday at 06:12 PM Author #1414 Posted Thursday at 06:12 PM Here is a quick process review of the name boards. I first, carved a wooden name board. Then I duplicated it. Next I formed several duplicates in light cured plastic. Carved them to follow the hull curvature, painted and added premade printed name plates. After Rich reminded me that her name was actually two words, I remade the starboard name board with a golden decorative break between the words.

Rick310 Posted Saturday at 01:02 PM #1421 Posted Saturday at 01:02 PM Rob, wish I still had my high and low speed hand pieces! I do have my hand instruments and my lathe ( bought thru the office for model ship building). With your background as a lab tech and Denturist, you must have a fantastic shop!! Rick
Rick310 Posted Saturday at 01:09 PM #1422 Posted Saturday at 01:09 PM Plus, you really know how to use it all!! You also have extensive knowledge of dental materials, most of which I haven’t used in 40 years as an endodontist. Still trying to learn how to use my metal lathe and milling machine (not from dental school!). Rick

ClipperFan Posted Saturday at 02:42 PM #1424 Posted Saturday at 02:42 PM (edited) @rwiederrich in fairness, I was reluctant to bring up the name board issue, since you did such a beautiful job. But Mike's insistence on historic accuracy prompted me to remind you. Personally I prefer the single word but that's inaccurate. Still, Rob you made a masterful recovery with your new signs.

I love these old periodicals and the fine details they share about these marvelous, long departed wind ships. As I told Rob, my personal, emotional preference for McKay's premier clipper ship is Staghound but according to ship's registries, her official name is Stag Hound. It's possible that at some point there was consideration of using the single word, as witness by Cornelius McKay's titling his ship plan banner as Staghound. Eventually a decision was made to name her Stag Hound. Meanwhile, I'm going to see if I can find the rest of this article. uscharin 1
rwiederrich Posted yesterday at 01:16 AM Author #1429 Posted yesterday at 01:16 AM Not sure the Popular Mechanic article is as accurate when claiming that Great Republic had a 180 ft main yard.
